We're the underdogs here, no question. So it's the kind of game that can really get you going for the rest of the year if you pull it off.

There's no question that's the No. 1 thing we've got to get fixed between now and the Vikings game. We have to get our run game going.

It's no statement. It's just another game. Statements won't be made until the playoffs.

I think it changes a game. Like when Ahmet blocks a shot in the post, (the opponents) start hesitating and looking to see where he is.

It was kind of a new thing to us, because in Conference USA we'd always been the underdogs. Then we were picked at the top of this conference. (The rough start) wasn't so much a letdown, but media-wise, we didn't meet expectations, or our team's.

You never critique a win, but there is no question we can get better. It was a scrambling game.
